Actually I was talking about SF. To me QOS’s story is head and shoulders above SF (and SP as well).
You were asked to stop this nonsense before. So was @Germanlady. What's wrong with you people? It's a bloody movie and a bloody actor, yet you're about to spit on each other's graves over this. @Germanlady freaks out whenever anyone disagrees about Craig; then others get worked up over her and so it goes on. Enough is enough! What is this? A matter of life or death?
Trump vs Kim Jong-un? You're attacking each other's intellect but the truth is that intellect is the one thing missing in this entire thing. In this curiously derailed thread about a film that hasn't even made yet, several members are going nuts like football hooligans. Over what? Speculation, taste, opinion. If this is a reflection of how the lot of you behave privately, I'd hate to be the one who has to report that the milk has gone sour. I guess one needs a Kevlar or at least safety goggles for that.
Nope. Right or wrong doesn't come into it. Just a different perspective.
Still I would like to point out, that it wasn’t me who started the insulting. I also didn’t ask Peter and German lady to the discussion.
SF is something different entirely. I love it but fully appreciate it has flaws, thanks to this site more than any other!
I just asked you to stop nosolace since you weren't engaging in a conversation, you were needling.
In my opinion you’re wrong.
True. I acknowledge that fact. @Germanlady goes bananas over any negative comment aimed at Craig. It has been that way since day 1. And she's quite good at dragging others into a fight with her while staying safe herself. Many have fallen into her trap. Members were banned in the days of Skyfall for that reason. And I've had enough of it. @Germanlady serves as Craig's personal watchdog here but is absent in almost every non-Craig related Bond thread we have. One day, when Mr Craig walks away from the part, I predict so will @Germanlady from this forum. And that's fine. That's her prerogative. All I'm saying is, ignore @Germanlady but don't try to fight her. It's never a fight of reason, always of endurance.
Depressing attitude. I’ve had my run ins with @Germanlady but she’s merely a big Craig fan. I literally don’t know what @noSolaceleft brings to the table other than being a total bell end.
"...over a film that hasn't even begun shooting yet."
No I mean apart from being a total bellend.
Stubborn, huh? Fine.
Thread closed for now.
Reason: trolling.
Duplicate threads will be locked.
Play nice, children, or not at all.
Thank you.
Edit: Where did the last part of my post go? Oh, well, I'll write it again:
Boyle has started filming his other project, right? How long was the filming of that movie supposed to last?
About 3 or 4 months I think.
Nothing that will affect filming of Bond 25, then…?
Wrong.
Filming begun last week and will finish early/mid June. Approximately six weeks (Boyle is known for coming in often under-schedule)
Ok.
That's quick!
Need someone to finish a decent script on a tight schedule, though. Maybe one of Boyle's regulars can manage to do that!
You clearly disagree but that in no way, shape or form makes me wrong.
Hey guys, I just received an email from @ColonelSun that the actual shooting schedule for the Boyle film is twelve weeks, not six.
If B25 is held up further, it is my opinion that it will be on account of other issues outside of actor and/or director. Namely the distributor and/or acquirer. There is of couse also a possibility that it will be delayed into the following year just because the release schedule is so crowded now and they need B25 to be a rather large hit (not just 'net profit' but also 'gross box office' given Bond has been away for so long). In that case it will be a tradeoff between getting it in theatres sooner to benefit MGM's bottom line earlier or pushing it out in order to make a bigger splash.
I have to say that MGM's current situation, including being run by M&A lawyers and others via committee is highly unusual, and suggests a sale is more likely than not. When, I'm not sure and it's possible that the future distributor is in fact the eventual acquirer, but the deal could be consummated after B25's release. This could explain the hush hush. The distribution deal is most likely linked to an acquisition.
I pretty much agree with this. If you did a diagram of Bond 25 development it might look like this:
--Standard gap three years.
--Gap gets extended to four years because: 1) Eon had more non-007 projects 2) Daniel Craig wanted a break/do other things 3) MGM tries to sell itself to the Chinese in 2016.
--IF gap gets extended to five years it will be because of MGM trying to sell itself yet again. Remains to be seen whether this happens.
